Yeah, on lemmy if you’re not constantly deepthroating Xi Jinping’s cock, you’re practically digesting Spotify’s cock.

I forgot I time traveled to 2006. The politics never changed so I thought I was still in 2025.

Anyway in the future we have a thing called cloud storage where you could upload your whole music folder and download it on any device.

As someone who makes music and listens to my own nonsense, I set a onedrive folder as my default location so I can export an mp3 while I’m showering and getting dressed and download the mp3 on my phone when I’m outside.

I am and I’m trying to break free. I can work and sustain myself, Adult Protective Services thinks I can’t. Apparently they can show up at my job and get me terminated? FFS I can’t fucking live like everyone else because of what a select few people think. Still living with my first bullies, family. I’m scared that when I move out, APS can remove me and forcibly put me in a group home because they think that’s best for me. All this work to undo what all these facilities did to me for nothing.

Feels like a waste of time. Sure I feel less wobbly and weak but there’s no point in trying to fix a life that was destroyed at the start. Y’all really scream at your children to just shut up and use an iPad, blame their stunted growth on a disorder, then have facilities toss the kid around like a game of hot potato until they finally die.

If only I believed in that sort of thing. I’d go after abusers and bullies as well.

I’ll seek it out when I feel like it. I’m not paying to force myself to sit through stuff I’m not interested in.

Over 9000!!! 😱🤯

If I like the song, I download it when I have internet or mobile data. I support the creators in other ways if possible. $1 from one fan is the equivalent of like 13 million streams from them. I’m not paying to avoid ten minutes of obnoxious ads every time I want to listen to music. Anyway, they found Like the Wind, and it absolutely slaps so I’ll download it on my phone.

Spotify and apps like it. Imagine paying a subscription to a subpar selection of music when you could just download mp3s. Imagine having skipping a song being a privilege. Are you an abused kid? Is drinking water a privilege too? I paid once for BlackPlayer simply because it’s my favorite music player app. The most important features were free.

Fire Emblem Three Houses as an anime with several ‘filler’ episodes with support conversations or new interactions between characters, really show what living through part 1 is like, 4 separate series for each route idk

The shit I’ve endured for 10 years that destroyed every aspect of who I was as a child. The reason I hate just about everything aside from work and video games. I used to like just about all the entertainment media aimed at my age but that was exclusively caused by that stupid puzzle piece and not because I was a human being who liked stuff. And then that same stupid ass puzzle piece that made me like too many things too much is why I only enjoy work and games. Right, that stupid puzzle piece was why I wasn’t supposed to be able to work at all, but that same stupid ass puzzle piece is why I was So Smart and knew how to get a job.

Actual human beings go through silly phases and emotions when they’re teenagers, but I only did because of that stupid puzzle piece. Wanting bodily autonomy and privacy was a symptom of that stupid puzzle piece. Wanting to fucking shower was a symptom of that stupid puzzle piece, but so was smelling bad. ABA dumbed me down into dead weight alongside several other children. Imagine loving transformers and action movies as a teenager, must be a stupid disorder because no one actually likes those movies at all.

That shit destroys lives before they’re given a chance to start. Literally mentally murdering the child and keeping a corpse alive.

Oh, right, I’m actually wrong because you lived a real life on the right side of society where everyone treated you like an actual real human being for your whole life, went to real school for real humans where you were actually encouraged to grow and learn, graduated a real high school where you were treated like an actual human being alongside all the other actual human beings and most likely have fun high school memories and pictures you actually consented to be in, then took a trendy test online and call yourself autistic for internet clout and “envy” people who were labeled with that shit as children and had their whole lives forcefully taken from them. Right.

"We have no problem with trans people existing.

We just have problems with people making mockeries of trans people. No, your gender is not a dragon, and creating anthropomorphic animal characters is not a disorder, sexuality, or gender identity, even if you dress up as them or get off to porn of them.

You’re why trans and disability rights are always going to be at a standstill. Whenever some stupid thing happens, like cat litter and dog beds in schools to accommodate furries, it’s blamed on disabled and LGBT people, especially trans and nonbinary people, for existing.

You’re why actual children being childish get abused into literally taking their lives, because you broadcast that role-playing as an animal or creating whimsical wacky characters are symptoms of autism instead of a child being a child. They end up in an ABA school that grooms them into believing constant reactive abuse is normal. They’re never allowed anywhere outside of home, the short bus, and the school, because “if they acted like a dragon at a playground, they might actually believe they’re a dragon and they need help”. Then they end up mentally and physically ruined to the point of needing to live in a group home where they’re further abused until they die of stress, a drug overdose by the staff to make them “convenient”, or by their own hand. Because they liked dragons and pokemon a lot as a literal child.

You’re part of the extremely vocal yet incredibly small minority of trans and disabled people that those in power, in charge of those communities’ rights, look at and make decisions based on. You’re why they get dehumanized and divided from society. You’re why everyone else assumes everyone in these communities can’t make rational decisions, and makes arbitrary - and usually unfair - decisions for them. You’re why trans, nonbinary, and disabled voices are spoken over and ignored. You’re why trans, nonbinary, and disabled people are treated like jokes.

We have a problem with the progress of our fight for transgender and disability rights being reversed because some internet users want clicks, clout, and imaginary points that will mean literally nothing in the next five years."

Guess the user and the instance, and who actually got downvoted and banned.
